Mini Dessert with Dark Chocolate

Brand: Deluxe

Cost: 85p

Found at: Lidl

This is a fairly standard little cup of chocolate mousse. It’s rich and creamy and has a little bit of chocolate crumble at the bottom – honestly, what more could you ask for? But what sets this apart from all the other pudding cups in the dessert isle is it comes in a little reusable glass cup. And for that reason, and that reason alone, many of the university students here are obsessed them. It’s not uncommon to walk into a student kitchen to find a shelf of these small cups being used to hold everything from bobby pins to hard alcohol. In fact, for many, the pudding is merely a bonus to the glassware. It is a marketing coup par-excellence – and the pudding is pretty good, too!
